Government House October 18, 2010

Or the title could be: More plants I don't know.

This is a springtime-looking flower for October.

I see these tiny red & white flowers around a fair bit still don't know what they are.

This plant was taller than me and I have no idea what it is either.

Finally, something I know - a rose. It too looks quite fresh for this time of year.

I was puzzled by this tree with the strange-looking fruit. From a distance they resembled small pears, more for the colour than the shape, but this is a Medlar tree. I learned about something else called bletting which "refers to the fact that some fruit must be allowed to fully ripen and start the decaying process before they are ready to eat." All in all, this fruit doesn't look or sound very appealing.
